Serving a ‘grace-full’ God
By Gary Fallesen, founding president, Climbing For Christ
Climbing For Christ ministry happens in real time. I am proud of our ability (by the grace of God) to be efficient.
Example: Damson Samson, our kingdom worker in East Africa, asks on Monday if it would be possible to receive an extra $500 a month to feed widows in Malawi. On Wednesday, funds are wired. On Thursday, Damson receives the money, buys the food, and distributes it.
At C4C Canada’s third Annual Meeting on Saturday, Nov. 26 in Coleman, AB, Board member Aaron Hemphill talked...

It’s the greatest four-day weekend of the year. Every year. From Thursday night, when we remember our foot-washing, servant Savior; to Good Friday, when He died on a cross for everyone (even those who...

Developing ‘True Grit’
By Gary Fallesen
Founding president, Climbing For Christ
I evoked the memory of American hero John Wayne to kick off the second Climbing For Christ CANADA Annual Meeting in Crowsnest Pass, AB on Friday, Sept. 25. We surprised our Canadian Board of Directors with a story and then I shared a devotional I wrote, called “True Grit.” We discussed being committed for the long haul and the need for perseverance to accomplish God’s goal for this ministry.
As the apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Christians in Rome: “we know that ...

“The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.”
– Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)
Climbing For Christ CANADA was established three years ago and on Friday (Sept. 25) the C4C Canada Board of Directors will be gathering in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta for our Annual Meeting.
Please lift travel to and from this meeting, our time of fellowship, and – most importantly – decisions made during the Annual Meeting. May our Board be divinely inspired and unified by the Holy Spirit.
Pray for Board members: Gary Fallesen (president), Brandy Fish...

Our brother was going door to door in a Pakistani village, bringing the love of Christ to the people living there. Suddenly, two men appeared. They shook his hand. Then they showed him a pistol and told him, by name, “Your time is finished. Run wherever you can. But you must be killed.”
We received word of this incident as we were preparing for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church on Nov. 2. It was a harsh reminder that we should be praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ every day. “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
